Doc’s son has game

The talent doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Doc Rivers’ son Austin committed two weeks ago to play his college basketball at Florida, even though he can’t sign an official letter of intent until Nov. 2010, according to an article at SI.com.

The story is a good read, and talks about how Austin could grow to be a better player than his father (Rivers’ older son, Jeremiah, played at Georgetown last season and is transferring to Indiana). It’s worth a look.
